[Rhodes22-list] second jib tracks

[Rik Sandberg]

Paul,

I didn't mention them, but I've got the third (intermediate) set too. Mine 
are situated in the walk way, right next to the side of the cabin, rather 
than right on the side of the cabin. I have used these and yes, we did have 
to roll up a lot of genny to do it. I'd say your 125% is a pretty close guess.
